About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live day by day, exploring as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

How to describe yourself?!
In few words I am a simple, curious person, who just enjoys learning new things everyday and getting to know new people.
At times I'm totally talkative and active, at times shy and thoughtful.

ABOUT PLACES I'VE BEEN TO:
"I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list" (Susan Sontag)
My last important trip started in May 2017, together with my boyfriend Urs, and should have become a "world trip" but ended being an "Americas trip" as it led us all the way from Canada to Chile, in almost 1 1/2 years.
We had a good mix of traveling, volunteering and just wandering and met amazing people everywhere.
Before that, during my studies, I have been to Kenya for three months and India for six months.

PHILOSOPHY

Try! If you don't, you've already lost!
Just think positiv!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having a couchsurfer as a guest or beeing hosted by one has always been a great experience!
